Chapter 247
“Sir Zion? Ah…”
Isella remembered her last thoughts. Just as she believed she could survive, she was thrown into the water. She remembered the torment of struggling in the endless flood.
“Yes, he saved you. He looked for you all over and, by sheer luck, managed to rescue you.”
“I see…”
Isella touched her neck. It was a miracle that she was breathing. Was it because Zion often walked by the water with her that he could find her? It was fortunate she had been found not long after being kidnapped. A little more time, and she would have died.
“And he killed the man as well.”
“Who?”

“What?”
